Building a staircase for the upcoming Saraswat Nagar station on the Metro Yellow Line 2B will necessitate the demolition of a newly built passport office at the entrance of the Khar police station on SV Road, sparking concerns among police staff.

According to sources, the Metro station staircase will land exactly at the site of the passport office that is operated on the police station premises. The facility was opened immediately after the Khar police relocated from an adjacent building to their new premises on August 15. The arrangement was made in the wake of an order issued by the Mumbai police commissioner, directing all police stations across the city to set up passport offices at the entrance for the convenience of citizens.
